B. White’s essay he describes a dual existence he has with his son when spending time at this lake. In some ways White is facing an identity crisis when he has a hard time distinguishing between himself and his son. The essay moves in a non- chronological order where White weaves in and out through the past and present. While at the lake, in its essence remains unchanged, White himself is different, and so he finally accepts the fundamental irony of life. The natural cycle of birth, childhood, maturity, and death are inevitable, he too realizes he is facing the natural course that leads to the chill of…

When this project was assigned to me, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Just six weeks ago, the words “nonfiction” created an image of boredom in my mind. I didn’t realize how many great pieces of nonfiction literature there were, and how much would enjoy it. Not only did I read many great pieces of writing, but I also learned a lot about myself as a person and a reader. In future years, this project should definitely be assigned to honors freshmen. One reason this project should be assigned to freshmen in the future is to enjoy independent reading again. School work and sports take up so much of my free time, that I rarely ever have time to relax and free read. If I have any free time during the school week, it’s usually for small windows of time, and I usually head straight towards my smart phone or Macbook. This project allows you to enjoy reading interesting articles and stories, and lets you make better use of your free time. Reading is a pleasure of mine, and without this project, I would’ve never been given the opportunity to enjoy reading during this stressful time. Students should all be able to read when they want to, and although homework takes that away, it’s important that teachers build in some structured time to do so. Another reason why this project should be assigned in the future, is that it teaches you a lot of new, interesting things. The beauty of this assignment is that you can choose to…
The assertions made by Lewis Lapham’s Money and Class in America distinguishes the meaning of success and the requirements for respect from Americans to that of other strong societies. In his essay he defends that Americans show respect for those with a high economic status while other nations feel art and intellect are warrant for respect. With this, he agrees with Henry Adams that Americans are greatly materialistic in the sense that they try to find “success” in wealth because they have been “deflected by the pursuit of money”. Though the idea that Americans favor and respect a high economic status is true, Lapham’s claim that they do so because they are socially forced to is not accurate because they still have the ability to make a choice.…
“He was of medium height. His shapely, slim figure and broad shoulders gave evidence of a strong constitution, capable of enduring all the hardships of a nomad life and changes of climates, and of resisting with success both the demoralizing effects of life in the Capital and tempests of the soul” (Lermontov pg. 50).…
